You can always use a macro if it is really that important to you...
#macro Glow(Pos, Col, Amt, Type)
    glow {
        location Pos
        color Col
        brightness Amt
        type Type
    }
#end


Glow(< 0, 0, 0>, White, 1, 0)

The link on http://homepage.mac.com/chrishuff/povpatch.html to these has
a space in place of %20, causing an invalid url error in netscape 4.7

Some probs with them below

particlesystem2.pov has errors or the patch does related to the jitter
keyword in a particle emitter

"direction < 0.2, 0, 0>
//direction < 1, 1, 0>
jitter <----ERROR
particleSystem2.pov:61: error: No matching } in particle_emitter, jitter
found instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)"

Also ipf.pov, ipf2.pov & others have a problem with #set & #background
(set not used in the file) - think you have mistakenly put a '#' in
front of background (mp5a & pov-official accept background (also camera,
plane, sphere & others) with/without the '#')
"rotate y*25
}
#background <----ERROR
ipf.pov:20: error: #set cannot assign to uninitialized identifier
background.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)"

also after fixing the above problem in objectEmitter.pov &
particlefountain.pov the following error occured _after_ the first
particle simulation
"jitter 0
drag 0.025
environment object {Floor}, <----ERROR
objectEmitter.pov:43: error: No matching } in particle_system, ,  found
instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)"

& this _after_ simulation
"gravity < 0,-0.00981, 0>
iterations 100
time_unit <----ERROR
particleFunnel.pov:52: error: No matching } in particle_system,
undeclared identifier 'time_unit' found instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)"

& this
"#if(1)
#declare particleFunc =
function {
pigment {
particle_system <----ERROR
particlepattern.pov:101: error: No matching } in pigment,
particle_system found instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)"

...various problems with particlesystem2.pov, ipf.pov, ipf2.pov, etc. 
snipped...

Serves me right...the particle patch demos were the only ones which I 
didn't have time to test.


> others have a problem with #set & #background (set not used in the 
> file) - think you have mistakenly put a '#' in front of background

You are right...I could have sworn the proper syntax was #background. 
This is likely due to my messing up on the "# VarName" patch(someone 
*PLEASE* think up a name for this one, I am tired of giving an example 
every time I mention it).


> (mp5a & pov-official accept background (also camera, plane, sphere & 
> others) with/without the '#')

Hmm, this is probably *why* I can't get the above mentioned patch to 
work...anyone want to point me to where this is done?

Heeeeey.. wait a minute...  I just downloaded the glow patch, and,
while reading the docs, I noticed a name : Marcos Fajardo, who made
the POV-AFX patch.. and suddenly, I knew I seen that name somewhere
recently, and... found : he's the guy behind the now-famous "Arnold"
renderer !!  Funny isn't it ?

(or am I the last who noticed that, as usual ?)

Anyway, I'd like to thank Chris Huff for implementing this !

Fabien.
